ok, this is just begging to be done


That's just a DAM SHAME! Not even one?! That is just preposterous!


Ain't that the truth! Amen
Wow V, we know where your mind is.

if you have really aggressive offsets, no amount of rubbing will cure that

do you know where the rubbing is happening?

is it on the outer or inner part of the tire?

if its inner, your offsets are too much and youll need to get a spacer

if its outer then rolling your fenders should suffice

the other possibility is that your rear tires are too thick or wide

I would start with where does it rub
Not sure exactly where it's rubbing. I'll be taking off the wheel tomorrow and found out exactly where, but it looks like its rubbing on the inner part of the fender. The other thing is that it's only rubbing on the driver side. Trying to get the offsets from Trinity as I ordered the wheels from them.

rolling the fender might crack your paint. I just trimmed the fender with a flex and took off about an inch

an experienced shop can do this properly. heating the fender usually helps
